We built a prototype for the iPhone, but it was clear that it needed some refinement to meet the standard set by the iPad version. We launched a Kickstarter campaign to gauge interest, to obtain funds to support the development, and to gather a community of beta users to guide us.

However, the poor results of that campaign indicated that either the idea is not a good one, or that we are not capable of presenting and marketing it to the right audience to generate sufficient interest. With regrets, we’ll have to shut down this effort for now. We will continue to focus on making PadKeys the best keyboard available on the iPad.

Well, not so good news on this. We built a prototype, but it was clear that it needed some refinement to meet the standard set by the iPad version. We launched a Kickstarter campaign to see if there really was substantial interest out there, and to obtain funds to support the development, as well as gather a community of beta users to guide us.

Unfortunately the results of that campaign indicated that either the idea is not a good one, or that we are not capable of presenting and marketing it to the right audience to generate sufficient interest.

Good news: we now have a prototype version up and running on the iPhone! However, we don’t feel that it’s good enough yet to release. PadKeys is among the best and highest quality keyboards available on the iPad, and we want the iPhone version to meet the same standard. So we’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to fund final development and also build our beta user base for feedback on the usability and design.

Please consider backing us. PadKeys costs about the same as a cup of coffee, but delivers many hours of typing pleasure. :-) The additional funds will aid development in several areas for the keyboard, and we’ll provide immediate beta access to the iPhone version to all backers above a certain amount.

And please share the Kickstarter with anyone you know who might be interested in a better typing experience on their iPhone.

We are working on this, but our early experiments show the layout needs work, even on iPhone 6 sized screens, to be comfortably usable. Let alone iPhone 4 and 5, which we also must support. We will send out a beta once there is something worth trying out.

We would like to do this, however the problem is Apple will not allow us to target only the 6 plus. We would have to support all the way back to the 4S (first one that can run iOS 8), and the experience of using the keyboard on those smaller screens would not be good.

We'll work on improving the experience on iPhone as other priorities allow us, and if it gets to be good enough we will then release an iPhone version.

Most large screen Android phones have keyboards with an optional numeric special key row and it would be great to have the same option for the large screen iPhones. So pleaae consider porting this to the iPhone as well.
